I still miss a couple of Superir Oils. I wanted to do NG+ in Death March and get all these side skills. Fuck me.
Well, technically it does give you access to more skills. You just can't have them all active at once. You can better prepare though based on what you're going to be fighting by changing up which skills you currently have active.
Unlucky indeed, to be fair the game explains to you when you get your first point how they work.
Well, as for Keira,
I tried, man. It was all going so well, then I told her she couldn't go to Radovic. She says 'draw your sword' and I'm looking for the 'uh, no?' option but there was none. Thought if I used my fists she'd be spared, but no. Dead. Couldn't believe it. Went and saw how to get around it and I picked every correct answer right up until the end, where you have to tell her there's no way Radovic would pardon her. As a Witcher newbie I know nothing of Radovic so I didn't know how to answer.
I'm on console, so that's not an option, but I've got money coming in enough now to make it less of an issue.
And thanks for the E2 tip, I have green diagrams but haven't made any weapons yet I don't believe.
Two questions: Can I safely sell my very starting gear or do I need it later for transmog purposes etc? Because I liked the way it looked. And secondly, if I have/buy a scheme/recipe/diagram will it be removed from other vendors? I'm always worried that I'm buying the same recipe twice from different people because there's a lot to keep track of.
Really looking forward to this Bloody Baron stuff over the weekend.

I believe I've discovered what causes the crate walking animation glitch. It's not the animation sequence but the crates themselves that cause legs on the player/NPCs to react as if it's there is a stand-able object mid air. With each step the animation is conflicting with the crate object.
Just needs a spell and some reins.

Started this 2 weeks ago. Was hoping/expecting to finish before MGS5 but I just looked at the main mission list and I'm about 1/3rd finished and at level 14, doing lots of side quests as well. There is just too much to do.
I'm going to have to take a break from this game aren't I, unless the second and third acts are much quicker?

Holy hell! Had no idea you could kill Keira!
That starting Witcher Jacket can be upgraded. I stupidly got rid of mine almost straight from the get go and could not, for the life of me, remember if I sold it or dismantled it. Gutted, because that's the best looking piece of armour in the game. And once it's gone it's gone, you can't buy or create a new one (though you can re-buy yours from whoever you sold it too...).
Man i love the game i have gotten even the platinum for it and now I am starting a new game+ playthrough but i have to say this for the record:
This game has some of the most annoying and irritating enemies ever to grace a videogame. The god damn constant swarming of enemies and their attack/dodge patterns really annoy the hell out of me... Its not that the game is hard. Its just annoying the way combat unfolds.
Great game possibly will share GOTY with MGSV, but the combat needs work...

It's not an exhaustive list but the IGN walkthrough page covers many of them. All the main story quests are covered afaik.
The game files could probably be mined for such a list, although it would only be quest names. It would still require something like a wiki for users to fill them out with relevant descriptions.
Nice avy btw

If you're playing on PC you can use a console command to add a new one to your inventory, and you can even auto generate a new set of Kaer Morhen armor, boots, gloves, and pants that are near your level too.
Truth. Too bad I couldn't use it beyond Lv12 on Death March; I stuck with it for as long as I could.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
I think the mastercrafted bear armor (DLC set) is the best in the game. Its truly awesome

One thing I never got used to is having to find a blacksmith for repairs like every other quest. But there isn't a spot in every location like you'd expect, I can't even find one in the massive city where there should be one on every corner. Is it really a case of having to warp to a certain town every time you need this? Really tedious, wish you could get rid of repairing in a mod.

You shouldn't need to repair that often, but anyway, what massive city are you talking about? Novigrad has two - three depending on how far you've come, and Oxenfurt and Skelliges bigger city all have at least two (armorer + blacksmith can repair anything). I've never had a problem finding one really.

Eventually you can carry so many reparation kits that makes traveling to a blacksmith seem rather pointless. I only happen to repair my items there when I stumble upon one in my adventures.

I don't know if they break achievements. I doubt it. As far as I know only Console Enabler does. But they seem to be still broken on Steam anyway
The DLC set is wolven, not bear,

Just got to Skellige last night.
So pretty. Such a great visual change from Velen. Not that the Velen is bad but I have been playing this game off and on since launch so the change is super welcome.

Also I have kind of already gone all with with Triss and now I am hanging with Yennifer and I confused. I feel like Yennifer is more down Geralt's street but I think I have already put my eggs in the Triss basket since I have already done the Now or Never mission. I wonder how thats going to go

Whats with all the tiny updates lately? No notes as usual.
I love exploring the world and triggering a big part of a main story mission "by accident". Basically skipped a few steps ahead and see the red x's on the mission checklist. lol I love this game.

I'm still using the default movement since I got used to it although I might play with alternate on my New Game+ playthrough.
The alternate movement is more responsive but it means the animation is more gamey as a result.
I think he meant the absent of a slow walk? I'm playing with mouse and keyboard so I don't think I see the slow or really slow walk transition.
Did you do the Lighthouse love scene with Triss? If so, I recommend you stick with Triss and don't romance Yennefer whenever the opportunity's given.
Yeah, the slowest, most leisurely lookin' walk animation was removed, for whatever strange reason.
[EDIT] - And there the reason is up above. Couldn't they have just left all the changes for the alternate movement? I miss it.

Yup.
I was going to play it safe anyway since this game is all about choices and their consistences and I didn't want to be a total dick but man.... kind of regret it a little now from a character POV. Geralt is a stone cold dude. He should be with the stone cold lady.
Even though it makes sense for me as the play to pick the lady you have spent 2 games doing the business with.

I keep telling myself I shouldnt care that much about this stuff. lol.

I'm coming close to the end now with 35 hours played. I've done every contract mission and all the side quests that sounded interesting.
If I finish the story do I get dropped back in so I can round up the last few straggling missions and explore a bit more?
Just a yes/no please.

Feel the emptiness inside. Don't even try to play anything else for a day. Start NG+. 😏
Yes. Mostly. Some missions / side quests become unavailable if you dont complete them before engaging the last mission.

Dijkstra refused to help me.
Eh, he's a prick, not like it matters anyway.

He was actually one of my favorite side characters in the game. Which made what he does at the end of his story arc, all the more annoying.
I'm still debating whether or not to wait for Skellige's Most Wanted and the Statuette quests to be fixed or just forge on and complete the main story.
I know I can probably go back and finish Skellige's Most Wanted after the main story, but the idea of giving up on the other quests doesn't sit well with me.
I've been playing this since release day. The Phantom Pain is almost out. What a time to be alive.

If it helps,

Is this slow-mo a common glitch? In the 100+ hours I've playing, I've never encountered this before. It was funny as hell watching Geralt blast the bandits into space. Wish I knew how to recreate it lol

A nod to the books but even isolated the event is hilarious.
Honestly the main quest regarding Ciri's trail is starting to get a bit tough to follow.
I think it's because this game doesn't highlight or dwell on important plot points in quite the same way most other games do. It seems to rely more on the player paying very close attention to dialogue and notes.
I just got done talking to Junior and caught his Ciri flashback. I haven't been to Skellige yet.
